Another Strinking Petcock Question...

Alright, I am going insane here. It's 2am and I can't sleep because my garage is filled with gas that dripped out of my bike.

My bike had a slow leak, similar to what others were talking about....you know, gas dripping from the air-box. After reading what everone has said, I thought there was a good chance that the petcock needed to be rebuilt. So, that is exactly what I did. Unfortunatly, after I rebuilt it, I appear to have made it worse. It' drips twice as fast as before!! The only thing I noticed is that it seems to drip faster when on the kickstand as opposed to the center stand.

Is it possilbe that it isn't the "diaphram" side that is having the problem by the spigot part that is not seated properly?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I have on that does the same thing. Just before I left for the Texas Hill Country ride my 81GS750 started leaking past the petcock. I took it apart and the diaphragm seem to be ok it was just that the valve stem didn't seem to seat the o-ring to stop the flow of gas. I tried stretching out the spring to get the valve to seat but it didn't work so I put am in-line valve in series with it.

I have another petcock now and will install it after I clean out the tank.

YEP YEP YEPINGEL

SMOOTH AS BUTTER AND CAN BE PURCHASED WITH OR WITHOUT A RESERVE. I LIKE THE RESERVE JUST IN CASE MY FUEL GUAGE FAILS. I THINK THE PRICE IS THE SAME--NOT SURE THOUGH.
